Cities: Skylines European Theme v1.1 Update Released

It’s finally here, the first major content update for Cities: Skylines.

This update is a big one and it’s not only bug fixes but new content too including tunnels, 72 European buildings, new maps and more! Take note that some mods may break with this update although CO say they have done their best to make it as compatible as possible. The full update notes are as follows and it’s live right now.

Over 72 European style buildings

Wall-to-wall buildings enabling players to build those European streets and neighbourhoods

Three new starter maps

Tunnels, one of the community’s most requested features

A number of Asset Editor additions including the ability to import custom vehicles

A multitude of smaller cosmetic additions and bug fixes.

Please note:

The European style buildings are a map theme, meaning you will need to play a map in the European biome in order to see them.

Many mods and (some) custom assets will not work with 1.1.0 and will need updating by their author. We have worked hard to cause as few conflicts as possible with popular mods, yet this is a substantial update and with the code & functionality changes some issues have been impossible to avoid. Going forward we aim to find a solution where we can work with our core modders pre-launch to give them ample time to adjust their creations before the public have access.

Our brand manager (the handsome guy you’ve seen in several videos) has the following to say about the expansion plans for Cities: Skylines.

“Cities: Skylines will continue to follow the traditions set by other recent Paradox releases such as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV of paid expansions combined with large updates of free content ensuring that all players, whether they choose to purchase the expansions or not, will have plenty of new features to look forward to. One of the major differences, however, between those titles and Cities: Skylines will be that minor DLC updates will be uncommon. The majority of content updates will be significant upgrades and additions.

Going forward, we will focus on giving away the main features for free and improving the modding tools, while also selling major expansions around new mechanics. But we will also continue to offer free content such as new buildings and road types.”
